Caring for a Healthy tommorrow

Introduction


When Health is absent

Wisdom cannot reveal itself,
Art cannot manifest,
Strength cannot fight,
Wealth becomes useless & Intelligence cannot be applied



As lord Buddha  has said,


That there  is  suffering  is the  truth
That there is a cause for suffering

That there is cessation of suffering &
There is a path to alleviation of suffering


 

These tenets of Buddhism may have been meant to consider a broader perspective of life and its philosophy, but nonetheless to a great extent they are applicable in their true sense in medicine. Modern medical science is also based on these principals, That there is disease which causes suffering we all know, what we may not appreciate immediately is that there is a cause of this disease or suffering. Great amount of knowledge has been accrued over past few centuries by the untiring work of many great scientist in medicine and related fields. Theres a lot we understand about diseases, their causes and treatments. Thanks to the explosive growth of sciences we are getting more and more close to the causes and remedies of previously untreatable conditions.

Even with the vast amount of knowledge now available there are many popular misconceptions and at times profound lack of awareness in common people. These are quite understandable as well, people are busy with their everyday lives and rarely interested in the progresses of medical sciences until it directly affects them, thankfully not every one gets sick with every disease, or has a firsthand experience of  it through a relative or a friend.

This is what this website is about, to give knowledge of  common diseases , conditions and treatments, how to prevent sickness, We would try to emphasize on chronic diseases like Diabetes and Hypertension which initially do not cause any symptoms, and by the time symptoms appear irreparable damage has already been done, more often than not these diseases are fatal, hence frequently denoted as silent killers.
SWINE FLU INFORMATION   LATEST ON DIABETES

Together with high economic growth and rising foreign investments, our country is also facing growth on some other fronts- that of so called lifestyle diseases, India was recently dubbed Diabetes capital of the world. As per World Health Organization India has most number of Diabetic patients in the world and their number is expected to double in the next 30 years. There are about 46 million Indians suffering from Diabetes, and by 2030 India is expected to have 80 million diabetics. About 60% of the Diabetes population is above 50 years of age. What is most disturbing about Diabetes is that at initial and even in late stages it does not give any bothersome symptoms, while Diabetes itself aggravates and complicates many diseases like High Blood Pressure, Coronary Artery Disease, Cerebrovascular diseases, Chronic Renal Failure. Without prophylactic testing people generally realize very late that they are having Diabetes, and most of them who are even aware of the disease do not take sufficient care to keep their blood sugar levels consistently under control.
